Vanilla fudge that tastes just like the old-fashioned "milko" lollies. It's creamy and rich and has the most intense vanilla flavour.
This recipe was originally published on the Queens Food website. The method given was for a stovetop but I wanted to cook it in the Thermomix. I find making fudge on the stove a real chore. The mixture splatters and sticks to the bottom of the pan. Honestly... maybe I'm just a lazy cook! I decided to try converting the method for Thermomix and it worked perfectly.
I've put together a few watchpoints but it is truly one of the simplest treats you will make.
Thermomix Fudge Watchpoints
Making fudge is really simple in the Thermomix if you follow the instructions. There are a few things that can go wrong so I will explain those to you before we get cooking.
- Make sure not to get condensation in the TM bowl. This means leaving the MC out so steam can escape. Also, be very careful when you lift the lid not to let the condensation drip into the bowl. If condensation gets into the bowl it can make the texture of the fudge feel grainy. Grainy isn't nice!
- Follow the exact instructions for temperature and heating. The timing allows the mixture to get to a set temperature. If it doesn't cook long enough it won't set properly when it cools.
- Place the chocolate and any other flavourings in at the end of the cooking time. If they are added prior it can interfere with the setting and reduce the intensity of any flavourings.
Thermomix Fudge Flavours
What other fudge flavours can you make? Well, I'm pleased you asked. I've been experimenting with so many different flavours of fudge lately! So far, this vanilla fudge and Salted Caramel Fudge are my two favourites.
I have also made Cookies and Cream Fudge for my son's girlfriend and Chocolate mint fudge. The Chocolate mint fudge was decorated like a Christmas tree, but you could always make it in a regular slab baking tray.
Thermomix Fudge FAQ
Fudge can last almost indefinitely in the fridge. You can make it months ahead of time.
The fudge will last longer if it is refrigerated. In winter it can last for a week or two at room temperature. In Summer I would always refrigerate the fudge.
If you can't get glucose you can substitute more Golden Syrup.
I have added a link to golden syrup for international readers. There really isn't any substitute that will work in place of golden syrup. Molasses is too rich, dark and earth and maple syrup will stop the fudge from setting.

Can you use other white chocolate other than dream
Heidi Lappen says
Hi Julie, if I double the batch will the cooking times/speeds remain the same? I made this today and it’s sooooooooo amazing and delicious- but I need to make 6 batches for Christmas gifts! Also any tips for effectively cleaning the Thermomix once the fudge is made? Thanks so much for the recipe! H
Kathy Prater says
Could you please publish this recipe in American measurements like cup and tablespoons and if I don't have with thermomix can I use a blender
Julie Carlyle says
Hi Kathy, I will try to do a conversion to US measurements today ???? Unfortunately I only know how to make this recipe in the Thermomix so I can't give a conventional cooking method.
